Morgans believes Cooper Energy’s in-line result was overshadowed by the market’s primary focus on progress at the Sole Gas Project.
The company’s major focus remains on progressing Phase 2 work planned for the second quarter.
Importantly, customers and banks remain supportive of the company/Sole, highlights the broker.
The analyst has growing confidence in the Otway’s growth profile and expects it to overtake Sole in terms of gas output, post the development of OP3D.
